Work At Home Jobs Are Hard To Find

For many of us, the turning point in our lives that made us urgently want to become work at home moms was shortly after the birth of our child. It was then that we realized our priorities in life had changed and would never again be the same. Then that we knew in our hearts we wanted to be stay at home moms and get work at home jobs so we could remain with our children during the most important part of their lives. A full time working mom that places her child in daycare at the age of twelve weeks loses about 34,425 precious hours of time with her child by the time her or she reaches the age of twelve! Additionally, much of the time left to spend with her child is non-quality, "chaos" time during which mom is either busy or too stressed to actually enjoy the time she has with kids.

Fine. Let’s just hop on the internet as new moms, surfing dutifully as our little ones slumber. Everyone knows that the work at home revolution has taken place. Millions of people now enjoy work at home careers. Let’s take our rightful place among them. Work at home jobs are bountiful. Let’s browse those gazillions of employer web sites, you know, all those thousands of respectable companies that allow their employees to have work at home jobs, choosing selectively whether we want the cushy work at home job for Big Blue or that other Fortune 500 company. Goodness knows there should be a huge selection of fantastic work at home jobs to choose from for us highly qualified, highly motivated stay at home moms.

Wow, do you remember the moment that charming fantasy came to a screeching halt as it slammed into the wall of reality?

Wait! How can this be? The gazillions of web sites are all scams! Scam after scam after scam, each one more insulting than the last. Envelope stuffing jobs claiming to pay $7.00 an envelope… data entry jobs in which you can earn big bucks in your underwear… “order processing” jobs that reek like the envelope stuffing scams… medical billing school that promises a great career after we graduate… fly by night outfits promising all sorts of ridiculous things. The most trusting among us fell for a few of them, only to become angry at the internet that fed them to us and even more depressed and confused when our best efforts to become work at home moms or stay at home moms weren’t successful.

“Where can they be?”, “How can this be happening?” you rhetorically asked yourself.

Before giving up your work at home idea altogether you spent hours and hours in frustration, searching the monster-sized job search engines for simple work at home jobs that work from home moms, like you, could do. When that didn’t work you tried the smaller cutesy-named job search engines. When that didn’t work you started searching for new job search engines you never heard of before. You put in every work-at-home-related keyword you could imagine. You tried every combination of choices. You found a few technical work at home jobs that you could do if you knew things like what PHP and C++ stood for, but no real jobs that a smart, computer-savvy mom like you could do at home. No matter what you did, those gazillions of work at home jobs were nowhere to be seen. Some of us had a great small business idea and started home based businesses. For the rest of us wanna-be work from home moms, our search finally came to a sad end when we accepted the reality that all those work at home jobs just didn’t exist. But deep down inside ourselves we knew it wasn’t true. We knew those jobs are out there somewhere. We just knew it.

Well, you were right all along, they were, and are, out there. If you’re already a member of our website and and have already discovered the HUNDREDS of great work at home jobs at our site, you already know that. Still, you may want to know why they were so hard to find without our help. Finally, you’ll learn the answer.

Understand that:

  1. Most employers can recruit for their home based jobs very effectively without spending a single penny by simply announcing job openings to their office-based employees. They have no need to advertise their work at home jobs anywhere where people like us might find them.
  2. Most employers who do make the mistake of posting work at home jobs on the internet find themselves regretting it, getting spammed and swamped with responses from all over the world. Hundreds of millions of people surf the net. That’s a lot more responses than most employers are interested in!
